ISSUE 0.3

The future is cyberpunk. Cyberpunk as heck.

I love cyberpunk. Futuristic technology, dystopian grit, and a whole lot of black clothing. What's not to like? I had a conversation with a coworker the other day about how I wish men had more fashion options. Once the future is here, I'm going full on LED. LED jackets, LED pants, LED underwear. We're not there yet, but you can see the beginnings of it. In this issue, let's take a look at some really cyberpunky stuff.

I find a lot of cool images online. I can't fit them into just one newsletter a week, so I started a Tumblr. If you like the imagery in this newsletter, you should follow new tumblog to get a daily dose of queued glitch, procedural, and cyberpunk goodness.

I once read an interesting article about how by acquiring Nest, Google annexed the homes of those who already had Nest. They bought information, data, a piece of our physical existence. Literally purchased something smart on our walls without our consent. As we bring more intelligence and data to mundane things, the more we have to be careful of making sure that those things aren't exposing us to those we don't want to be exposed to.

Way's Notes

Thank you for reading.

I'm always thinking of ways to improve Glitchet while simultaneously using it as the perfect excuse to code cool things. Right now on my mind is an article aggregation and classification system that can scan the web for futuristic articles and put them onto a page on Glitchet under categories like "drones", "robots", what have you. Less for reading, more for feeling the future-now as it happens. You dig?

On the topic of digging, how is the length of the issues? Too long? Not long enough? Just right? Let me know in an email if you have time. I'm going to build a survey system so you can just hit a button from the emails soon. Don't forget to tell your friends about Glitchet. Comments, rants, rambles to [email protected].

Interested in putting your money where your Glitchet is? You can support Glitchet with a monthly subscription on Patreon, or a one-time payment via PayPal.

Money for Glitchet goes into paying for server costs, spending more time developing it, and telling it you love it.

Alternatively, if cryptocurrency is more your bag, you can send me meager amounts of cyber money at these wallet addresses:
